Berlin (dpa) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday stood by her decision to welcome refugees to Germany, saying in a live television interview that she would continue to pursue her open-arms policy.
Merkel cracked a smile at the start of the interview when a moderator from public broadcaster ZDF asked if Germany's leader had surrendered political control and lost the power to enact policy.
"The federal chancellor has the situation under control, as does the entire federal government," Merkel said.
The chancellor's expression grew sober for the rest of the interview as she acknowledged that the migration crisis gripping Germany and the EU was an "especially challenging time."
Merkel asked Germans to have patience as she was determined to move forward with what she believed was a just approach to the situation.
"I am not the first chancellor who has had to fight for something," Merkel said.
Despite pressure from members of her conservative political bloc, the chancellor said she was not prepared to set an upper limit on the number of refugees Germany can admit.

With events in Germany spinning so rapidly out of control, I foresee a Ceausescu moment in Frau Merkel’s future.
Well hasn’t the NSA been listening to all of her phone calls for the last several years?
Does Germany have a system similar to Britain’s Parliament?
A ‘No Confidence’ vote?
I can’t believe these politicians are that stupid.
They refuse to admit they made an error in judgement, aka mistake.
So they have to double down . Hell with what’s good for the country.
Il Douche is going to do the same. Watch.
Merkel will get a lot of people killed.
” It’s terrible what’s being done to them, and by their own government! Eine Schrecklichkeit!”
It’s terrible what has been done to us under the leadership of our own muslim terrorist in the white house working against us from the inside!
One of my buddies used to say “you cant fix stupid, but you can hit it with a stick!”
Angela Adolf Merkel has severe goosestepping problems. She is destroying The Fatherland!
Merkel is completely insane. Germany is going to be in a revolution soon. They are all sitting in front of their TV’s tonight watching Paris and thinking WTF?
Thanks for posting this video. This will happen in America soon unless we make our voices heard as one because our politicians are just as stupid as theirs.
They’re next..
A delusional state is where one goes after creating an abomination that can not be unwound.
